What Should Be Done For High Blood Calcium Level With PTH 17.2 When On BP Medication?
Hi, my blood Calcium has ranged from 10.1 to as high as 11.4 over the past 10 years. I have had PTH and Calcium drawn today with PTH of 17.2 and Ca of 10.3. Lab results for my recent physical support otherwise healthy. Endocrinologist insist that I have a cancer somewhere, my kidney doc tells me not to worry about it. Am I dying? Last creatinine was 1.4, wbc 7.5, rbc 4.88. I take blood pressure meds but have been taken off of any hydrochlorothiazides. Blood pressure is well under control. Help me!

Dear,
there is very mild elevation of calcium, I can say negligible. Since you are hypertensive very mild changes have occurred in your kidney which lead to mild elevation of serum creatinine and possibly calcium.
There is nothing to worry and please do not think of cancer and enjoy.
